fullscreenaging Posted March 5, 2016 Share Posted March 5, 2016 Wait until the sun gets higher and the roads get warmer. Your mpg WILL decrease Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scud Posted March 5, 2016 Share Posted March 5, 2016 Take the bike back, the chain and sprockets should have been replaced if they are bad enough to cause a knocking, there must be a stiff link in the chain, they will of ridden the bike. The cold start issue should fe sorted, but these sort of things can be a pain to sort. As for the mpg, when you start to open the throttle fully it will drop quickly!

Guest Posted March 6, 2016 Share Posted March 6, 2016 There goes any chance of taking the bike back. Dropped it in a car park last night, smashed the rear brake foot-peg, front headlights, right side fairings as well as oil is now leaking out of the gear change peg.Insurance took me home and it's going to a local bike garage Monday. Going to be a while absolutely gutted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eastanglianbiker Posted March 6, 2016 Share Posted March 6, 2016 thats unlucky sorry to hear that liam the bad news is with the light and fairing damage the insurance company might write the bike off but the main thing is you are ok Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted March 6, 2016 Share Posted March 6, 2016 Insurance won't know about it they only got a recovery vehicle to take me home.I'm totally fine, tried to keep the bike up but once I was past the point of no return I just stepped away. Absolutely gutted.I won't be going through insurance, it's not worth it for me or anyone else liking to get insurance on a TT600 [emoji39] Hopefully the damage isn't as bad as it is in my head.Because the right side fairings as so scuffed now it's definitely going to need a respray.. Anyone have any ideas how much general a bike respray is? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CGD217 Posted March 6, 2016 Share Posted March 6, 2016 Sorry to hear that buddy. Fingers crossed you can get it fixed sharpish. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tango Posted March 6, 2016 Share Posted March 6, 2016 Damn....that's a bugger, mate.......as others have said, at least you're ok. Have a look on eBay for fairings and a peg......you never know......otherwise a respray will cost you a few hundred quid I would have thought... Worth looking at crash bungs for the future.....

Guest Posted March 6, 2016 Share Posted March 6, 2016 Already looking at crash bungs hahaFairings seen to be around the same price as its gonna cost to take it for a respray and repair a few edges that have snapped. Luckily there's nothing it scrapes on the fairing and a little crack at the front. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tango Posted March 6, 2016 Share Posted March 6, 2016 You should be able to get the crack in the fairing welded.......don't forget that apart from the fairings a lot of other parts are the same on the Speed 4......so, for the peg and anything else it'll give you more choice.... With regards to the ECU map, connecting it up to TuneECU will tell you what map is in there.....and the TuneECU website lists all the latest maps for that bike..... Hope you get it fixed up ok.

Guest Posted March 6, 2016 Share Posted March 6, 2016 f**k sake [emoji85] Only problem is I needed it taking home as I was at a hotel for my step sisters mothers 60th and had no where to lock it up or nothing with me and I couldn't push it home.

tuktuk Posted March 6, 2016 Share Posted March 6, 2016 Id be tempted to leave the fairings etc for a little while if possible? You would hate to fix it up changing the fairings to drop it again.Get the mechanical side of it sorted and leave any parts that dont 100% have to be changed.then in a couple months when your more comfortable on the bike look at changing the fairings.Get some pics up, theres a few people been in similar scenarios that can help asses what should be changed and what you could leave for now.

Guest Posted March 6, 2016 Share Posted March 6, 2016 I can definitely leave the fairings they're just scuffed big time.Front brake lever totally bent on the opposite direction.Front footpeg driver side snapped clean offGear selector loose and seems to be leaking oil (this is my biggest worry).
